Appreciating Life

Today I received an SMS from our church pastor notifying us of the passing of one of our church member's brother who was admitted to the hospital for leukemia. It was sad for the fact that he was 35 years of age. One can imagine the grief-striken family. Situation like these stops us in our tracks and we are force to think about our very own lives. Are we appreciating what we have or have we taken things for granted?
